September 8, 2009:  Hilarie McNeil Smith

Digital Painting

Her poetic vision will astound you. The final image must always be a pleasure to look at. This can be done with photography, with painting or many other media. Hilarie does it with pixels. It may begin with a digital photo but where it ends may well be a pleasant surprise, even to herself.
